The Art of Petar Meseldzija

Book excerpt: This isn't just another oil painter, another painterly approach to realism. This is historical, timeless, generation-inspiring work, the kind that eventually garners thick tomes by professors of classic art study. This is the level that all artists shoot for in their paint, whether it's detailed, painterly, or abstract. Petar Meseldzija handles the pigment as if he was born to it, as if the pigment's potential resides in his brushes for only him to release. - Gregory Manchess, artist
